    Barry-If I'm reading yours properly it looks like it is only 5 digits?

    Pre-1980 cars do not have the standard 17 digit VIN code hence worthless when doing a Carfax.

    Mine is F106AS 26581. The 26581 is the production/chassis number.

    Scott,

    As Spasso said, pre-1980 cars have a nonstandard VIN code. For the engine type in my 1976 308 GTB, I have indicated my VIN as F106AB 19399 for the 308 GTB Register and 308GTB19399 as on my vehicle registration.
